Port of Felixstowe

The Port of Felixstowe is Britain’s biggest and busiest container port, and one of the largest in Europe.

The Port of Felixstowe handles more than 4million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) and welcomes approximately 2,000 ships each year, including the largest container vessels afloat today – crucially, the port provides some of the deepest water close to the open sea of any European port. Around 17 shipping lines operate from the Port of Felixstowe, offering 33 services to and from over 700 ports around the world.

Together with its unrivaled rail and road links connecting the port to distribution hubs in the Midlands and elsewhere in the UK, the Port of Felixstowe plays a pivotal role in keeping the UK’s trade moving, and delivers real benefits to customers, the community and the industry.

The Port of Felixstowe, in Felixstowe, Suffolk, is the United Kingdom's busiest container port, dealing with 48% of Britain's containerized trade. In 2017, the Port of Felixstowe was ranked as 43rd busiest container port in the world and 8th in Europe, with a handled traffic of 3.85 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU).

The Port of Felixstowe is operated by the Felixstowe Dock and Railway Company, which was set up under an Act of Parliament, the Felixstowe Railway and Pier Act 1875, and so is one of the few limited companies in the UK that do not have the word "Limited" in their name. Much of the land on which the Port of Felixstowe sits is owned by Trinity College, Cambridge, which in the 1930s bought some land near Felixstowe which included a dock that was too small to be included in the National Dock Labour Scheme. In 1967, it set up Britain's first container terminal for £3.5m in a deal with Sea-Land Service.. Because container shipping is much more economically efficient in bulk, this early start led to the Port of Felixstowe becoming the UK's largest container port, despite its previous insignificance to the shipping market.

The Port of Felixstowe is owned by Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH) Group and has always been privately owned. In 1951, Gordon Parker, an agricultural merchant, bought the Felixstowe Dock & Railway Company, which at the time was handling only grain and coal. In 1976, Port of Felixstowe was bought by European Ferries. In June 1991, P&O sold Felixstowe to Hutchison Whampoa of Hong Kong for £90m. In June 1994, Hutchison Whampoa's Hutchison International Port Holdings bought out Orient Overseas International's 25% stake in Felixstowe for £50m.

Hay un cargo de envío base (que se puede considerar como un cargo de envío mínimo) para cada envío que realiza y el envío de varios paquetes al mismo tiempo (lo que constituye un envío consolidado) garantiza que solo tenga que pagar este cargo base una vez en lugar de pagar para cada paquete que se envía por separado.

 

Incluso sin volver a empaquetarlos en un solo paquete, el envío de varios paquetes al mismo tiempo lo ayuda a ahorrar porque solo se le cobra el peso de envío base una vez. Esto ayuda a reducir sus costos de envío internacional. Naturalmente, si se considera apropiado para su envío, la consolidación también puede incluir el reempaque; después de evaluar su envío, si consideramos que combinar todos los artículos en un solo paquete grande o en menos paquetes puede ayudar a reducir su peso volumétrico, lo haremos por usted. sin cargo.
